Blown The Budget

I have just taken the time to read back 5 days of blog posts, wow am I behind I knew I had been a bit slack lately but I had no idea I had been MIA for that long.

As usual I am blown away by how well some of my favourite bloggers are doing with theyre debt repayments. I said at the beginning of the month that I was hoping to save around the $1,000 mark, but after 18 days I am still a long way away from making that happen as we had an unexpected car repair plus The Foxx needed new tires on his car.

Looks like June's budget has taken a nose dive, but I have not given up as yet, yes we may not hit the $1,000 we would like to hit but anything is going to be better than nothing. So it's onwards and upwards.

After decorating in my toilet area last week I have decided to freshen up my Lounge Room but only if we are given another year's lease, normally they let us know in July as our lease expires in August, so this means either one of two things a rent increase or removal costs, I know which one I'm hoping for...

Yes it did and does, I am still wandering the house looking to see where I can make more changes. It has been years since I did any decorating or buying for the home, having said that I am looking for frugal ways of decorating...

About Me

When I first starting writing this blog I was working fulltime and trying to make up for a lot of bad financial decisions made over a large number of years.
I am now a full time housewife and carer to my aging MIL and on an aged pension so it is definitely too late to turn my finances around to the extent where I will be able to own a home again.
So let's make the best of a bad job and live as frugally and comfortably as possible for the rest of our lives.....
